Barlinnie said...: Dirk Bogarde, who could ever forgive his erudite performance as a 'true Scot' in the filum Campbells Kingdom?

You're right about the music though Pat.; 9:40 AM
Anonymous said...: Hi PI- saw a comment by you at leah's- I see you are from the same county as me- how funny is that?- I have never met anyone so 'local' on blogger- I'll be back. Boys are baying for computer time.; 2:20 PM
Pat said...: Jimmy: and then he was a sort of Spanish cowboy which was cringe making. But he was amazing in 'Darling' playing a very desirable man (honestly)and in Death in Venice brought out the tragedy of a hopeless love; sitting dying with his hair dye dripping down his face in the Venetian sun.
Glad you like the music.
Blogger is mucking me about!!!!!; 4:15 PM

Pat said...: Eryl: Naomi has that problem so I always try to put the URL. It's the first comment

Beleek: oh I didn't know that. The dresses were beautiful - what a shame.; 11:24 PM
Eryl said...: Today I can play it, so odd! But I used your link yesterday and watched it on you tube: love the boy's beach attire!; 9:56 AM
OldLady Of The Hills said...: Thank you for the link, Pat....O LOVE this film...Everything about it. Between The Mahler and Dirk Bogarde and the BEAUTIFUL Costmes, etc., etc....Visconti outdid himself....As you said, a haunting film.
When he sits on the beach and the dye runs down his cheek....Heart Breaking! A beautiful, beautiful film by a master filmaker!

Wat made you think of this film today, Pat?; 10:45 AM
Pat said...: Eryl: in spite of the contentiousness of the subject I still find it very sad. I've always loved Mahler's swellings of sound; 11:29 AM
Pat said...: Naomi: my mind was full of Honey and candles and prayers and good wishes and I wanted to play some beautiful music. I couldn't remember the number of the sumphony but knew it had been used in 'Death in Venice.'
Then I remembered what a wonderful film it had been and thought it worth spreading the word.; 3:32 PM
OldLady Of The Hills said...: Came back to see your answer...It is the MOST Beautiful Music....
And also to urge you to come on over to my place and see the "Purple/Blues"....I feel like I am off the radar somehow in our Blogworld...Oh well.....that's how life is sometimes, isn't it?; 11:21 PM
Pat said...: Naomi: I'm coming. I think it may be that if one is a 'follower' one gets the new post on one's dashboard.; 11:40 PM
